Gotta Read
By LISA MARIE
Etched in Bone
by Anne Bishop
Released March 7, 2017
New York Times bestselling author
Anne Bishop returns to her world of
the Others, as humans struggle to survive
in the shadow of shapeshifters
and vampires far more powerful than
themselves...
After a human uprising was brutally
put down by the Elders—a
primitive and lethal form of the Others—the
few cities left under human
control are far-flung. And the people
within them now know to fear the noman’s-land
beyond their borders—
and the darkness...
As some communities struggle to rebuild,
Lakeside Courtyard has emerged
relatively unscathed, though Simon
Wolfgard, its wolf shifter leader, and
blood prophet Meg Corbyn must work
with the human pack to maintain the
fragile peace. But all their efforts are
threatened when Lieutenant Montgomery’s
shady brother arrives, looking
for a free ride and easy pickings.
With the humans on guard against
one of their own, tensions rise, drawing
the attention of the Elders, who
are curious about the effect such an
insignificant predator can have on a
pack. But Meg knows the dangers, for
she has seen in the cards how it will
all end—with her standing beside a
grave...
Informed Risk
by Robyn Carr
Released March 13, 2017
Mike Cavanaugh
was a firefighter;
it was his job to
rescue people.
Though inviting
them home
wasn’t usually
part of the job
description. But
when he pulled
Christine Palmer out of
her burning house, something about
the gutsy single mom made him want
to protect her, to make her life a little
better. Only somehow Chris and her
family ended up giving Mike’s life
new meaning, and he was happier
than he’d been in years.
But Chris was smart and resourceful.
She’d get back on her own two
feet—sooner rather than later. And
when she no longer needed Mike’s
support, would she still want his love?
Cruel Winter:
A County Cork Mystery
by Sheila Connolly
Released March 14, 2017
Snow is a rarity
in Maura Donovan’s
small village
in County
Cork, Ireland,
so she wasn’t
sure what to
expect when a
major snowstorm
rolled
in around Sullivan’s
pub. But now she’s stranded in
a bar full of patrons--and a suspected
killer in a long-ago murder.
Maura’s been in Ireland less than
a year and hasn’t heard about the
decades-old unsolved crime that took
place nearby, let alone the infamous
suspect, Diane Caldwell. But the locals
have, and they’re not happy to be
trapped with her. Diane, meanwhile,
seeks to set the record straight, asserting
her innocence after all this time.
And since no one is going anywhere in
the storm, Maura encourages Diane to
share her side of the story, which she’d
never had a chance to do in court.
Over the next few hours, the informal
court in Sullivan’s reviews the
facts and theories about the case--and
comes to some surprising conclusions.
But is it enough to convince the police
to take a new look at an old case? A
clever spin on the classic locked room
mystery, Cruel Winter, the fifth in New
York Times bestselling author Sheila
Connolly’s series, will delight fans of
the Emerald Isle.
Mangrove Lightning

The ghosts of a 1925 multiple murder
stalk Doc Ford, in the electrifying
new novel in the New York Times–
bestselling series.
Doc Ford has been involved in many
strange cases. This may be one of the
strangest.
A legendary charter captain and
guide named Tootsie Barlow has come
to him, muttering about a curse. The
members of his extended family have
suffered a bizarre series of attacks, and
Barlow is convinced it has something to
do with a multiple murder in 1925, in
which his family had a shameful part.
Ford doesn’t believe in curses, but
as he and his friend Tomlinson begin
to investigate, following the trail of the
attacks from Key Largo to Tallahassee,
they, too, suffer a series of near-fatal
mishaps. Is it really a curse? Or just a
crime spree? The answer lies in solving
a near-hundred-year-old murder .
. . and probing the mind of a madman.
